This launch brings even more flexibility and choice to developers building AI-powered applications, whether you’re starting with a quick prototype or scaling a production agent. Open-source GPT models: Access gpt-oss 20b and 120b directly on the Gradient AI Platform. Code + UI support: Call the models through our Serverless Inference API or select them in the Gradient dashboard when creating agents, or try them out in the model playground. Integrated experience: Unified billing, observability, and traceability built into the platform—no need to stitch together multiple vendors, billing, or monitoring tools. With code: Call the models directly through our Serverless Inference API. import os import sys from gradient import Gradient model_access_key = os. environ. get( "GRADIENT_MODEL_ACCESS_KEY" ) if not model_access_key: sys. stderr. write( "Error: GRADIENT_MODEL_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is not set. \n " ) sys.
